I want to say Frank Castle actually went to the Naval Academy at Annapolis, because I could swear I remember reading that somewhere, but I can't seem to find a source for it. It may be that it hasn't been fully detailed exactly where he went to school.
I do know that he briefly attended Seminary, of all things, initially intending to be a priest (until he realized he just didn't have it in him to forgive sinners as easily as Priests are supposed to). It's possible his commission was earned on the battlefield. That'd be in keeping with his character, certainly. Though I don't know that I've ever seen a story where he was portrayed lower-ranking than a Lieutenant, which would imply that he either went to OCS right after enlisting or was in some sort of RotC program or went to a military academy. Maybe he had enough credits from Seminary to warrant getting an OCS slot (particularly since it was during the Vietnam Conflict and they were likely hurting for officers). As far as fitting the Punisher into the Joe-verse, it's not hard...his military career reads very much like one of the "elite/senior" Joe team members as it stands. Just tone down his inhuman resistance to pain/injury a bit and his ability to outsmart almost every enemy he comes across and it's all good. Personally, because I like to tie things together I'd probably make Frank Castle a former protege/friend of Joseph Colton, and someone that very likely would have been a member of the G.I. Joe team (Possibly its' field leader) if it weren't for the tragedy that killed his family. Maybe Gung-Ho or Leatherneck or one of the other Marines on the Joe team might have even served under him (The Corps is pretty small, after all). Throwing in those kind of personal connections can make it a lot more painful for the Joes when they come into conflict with a guy that should have been one of them. |
